Artists & Makers

Step into a world of organic abstraction, curiosity, and creative play.

My Open Studio offers an inspiring mix of original artworks—from large expressive canvases to small, affordable pieces—alongside a peek behind the scenes of my working garden studio.

Visitors can enjoy demonstrations of my experimental process, browse unique gift items, take in stunning views of the Malvern Hills, and you can pre-book a creative workshop on my website.

Whether you’re an art lover, a curious passerby, or someone seeking inspiration, you’ll find a warm welcome and plenty to explore.

Biophilia in art…!

Biophilia is defined as the innate human instinct to connect with nature and other living beings.

Do you feel this connection?

My work aims to to give you a glimpse of the endlessly fascinating details moods and atmospheres that are in the natural world.

I believe we are all intuitively responding to the world around us, intimately connected to nature and we all need a dose of nature every day. Art can give you this too, through the textures, colours and details that evoke the intricacies of the hidden natural world.

My process

I respond to and build up layers, letting the materials lead the way. I do this because I love the depth this creates and the unexpected effects and surprises you can see in my work. I could never plan this. 

Sometimes I blend physical collage pieces in the early layers as a connection to human community life (old family paperwork and social history cuttings) Responding intuitively I layer over inks, paints and mark making using a limited palette. These layers evoke textures and connections to the natural world for you to enjoy.

Marks made with plants from the place that I’m painting add another layer of significance and I will also use local earth pigments and sand.

My Studio

My studio is in the garden of my home and I’m lucky enough to have a wonderful view over the Malvern Hills. UK.

It’s a small space but I love it.

I also work outside whenever I can, relishing the freedom to work even more expressively without the constraints of an easel.

Workshops

I love to help people to use their creativity, and to help teachers to use ‘the arts’ , especially outdoors in schools and early years settings. See the Workshops and CPD page on my website for further info.
